Welcome

Early stage investments in creative and well executed ventures.

Where to take a blog

Lately I’ve been a bit slower on the blog and that’s primarily because I’ve been trying to figure out where to take it. I’ve spent some time with various other people in Seattle who have been working on ideas to make the start-up community in Seattle more progressive - perhaps even competitive with the Bay Area. These discussions triggered my own ideas about this very site. What I’d like to do is redevelop curiousoffice.com (again!) and begin to focus on making this blog an information resource for local entrepreneurs. I’ll be linking to all known local resources that I think will be of value to those working on tech start-ups and then, over time, will even consider other applications that might help others network and pursue their own ideas.

In the short term, I commit to blogging more until I work out more details for curiousoffice.com.

    Kelly, that’s the best line I’ve read of late - number one reason I read Curious Office every morning. The links, comments, and direction I get from this blog help me with every read.
